Message Board lingo question

sarah3333

I've been reading the boards and sometimes I see a post and it just says "BUMP" ...I am totally ignorant on the meaning of this. What does this mean?

We could tell you, but we would have to kill you.

BUMP is mainly used as a way of keeping that topic "live" & therefore as the topic has had a recent reply it will stay nearer the top of the list. Also some people use it as a quick way to "mark" a topic so that they can come back to it later.

NSV - non scale victory, although you didn't ask this is used a lot as well

Glad you asked this... cuz I didn't know either.
I just asked someone yesterday what NSV meant.

brayla1

not enough bacon on this sandwich, double up please!!

Here on MFP people use the term to bookmark a thread, but anywhere else, it's used to by an OP (original poster) to bring an older thread to the top of the list to gain more of an audience. It's acronym for "bring up my post".

lol I thank you all for clarifying the importance of bacon and the meaning of the term bump so that I can better navigate the message boards.
